Liverpool Targets PSG Duo Ibrahim Mbaye and Bradley Barcola

Liverpool’s response to life after Mohamed Salah is starting to take shape – and it could arrive in the form of a stunning double move on Paris Saint-Germain.

The club are weighing up a raid for winger Ibrahim Mbaye and his PSG team-mate Bradley Barcola, as the hierarchy looks to inject fresh pace and unpredictability into the front line following Salah’s departure to Trabzonspor.

The search for goals and chaos out wide has sharpened Anfield’s focus. According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool are among the clubs pursuing Senegal international Mbaye, with Manchester City and Tottenham also tracking the winger. That level of competition underlines how highly the PSG prospect is rated, even if his minutes in Paris have been limited.

Liverpool’s concerns are clear. With Salah gone and the attacking burden falling heavily on the existing forwards, there is a growing feeling that one marquee addition will not be enough. The answer on the table: go for both of PSG’s rapid wide men and reshape the front three in one swing.

The idea is ambitious. The price even more so. PSG are expected to demand in excess of £150 million to part with the pair in this window, a figure that would test Liverpool’s resolve and their summer budget in one hit.

Yet the opportunity is obvious. Both Barcola and Mbaye have spent long stretches on the bench in Paris, stuck behind established stars and rotating rather than ruling. Liverpool sense a gap to exploit – two hungry, explosive attackers, underused in Ligue 1, who could be unleashed in the Premier League.

Timing matters. The new season is edging closer, and Liverpool want their forward line settled before the first whistle. If they choose to push ahead, this double move would not just be a reaction to losing Salah. It would be a statement about what the next era of Liverpool’s attack is supposed to look like.
